Step-by-step DIY Nib Grind

As a thank you to a viewer (nitrosquid44) for recommending me for an edition of Appelboom Top 3 pens, I decided to grind & send them a pen. Figured while I was at it, I might as well do 2 pens! So here we have one to giveaway. A Jinhao 159 with my cursive italic/Stub grind.

Here's a list of the items I use to inspect, tune, and grind my nibs:
